tell me the 4 types of printers

10 - 448

A

impact
inkjet (bubble jet)
laser
thermal

2
Q

tell me the 2 major types of impact printers

10 - 448

A

daisy wheel

dot matrix

3
Q

tell me the quality types for typewriters and early dot matrix printers

10-450

A

typewriter - near letter quality

dot matrix - draft quality

4
Q

what does CMYK stand for?

10 - 451

A

cyan, magenta, yellow, black

5
Q

what is the component of a bubble jet printer that you load the cartridges into?

10 - 451

A

the carriage

6
Q

what does your printer need to have if its going to have two-sided printing capability?

10-458

A

a duplexing assembly

7
Q

there are two major types of page printers that use the EP (electrophotographic) print process. tell me how they make their image.

10-458

A

one uses a laser to scan the image onto a photosensitive drum

the second uses an array of light-emitting diodes

8
Q

true or false: the laser light in a printer is powerful enough to damage human eyes.

10-460

A

true

9
Q

there’s a DC power supply for the laser printer. it converts house current into three voltages. tell me the voltages and tell me what they are used for.

10-461

A

-5 VDC and +5VDC for the logic circuitry

+24 VDC for the paper transport motors

10
Q

what is the paper transport assembly responsible for?

10-461

A

moving the paper through the printer

11
Q

what is the transfer corona assembly responsible for?

10-462

A

transfers a high voltage charge to the paper so that the printer toner gets pulled from the photosensitive drum to the paper

12
Q

fusing assembly. what does it do?

10-463

A

applies pressure and heat to fuse the toner particles to the paper

13
Q

what does the printer controller circuitry do?

10-463

A

rasterizes the signals from the computer that are being sent to the assemblies in the laser printer

14
Q

tell me the 7 steps of the EP print process

10-464

A
processing
charging
exposing (writing)
developing
transferring
fusing
cleaning
15
Q

what is a printer’s interface?

10-470

A

its is the collection of hardware and software that allows the printer to communicate with a computer

16
Q

what is a popular wireless technology used to connect printers with a single computer or mobile device?

10-472

A

Bluetooth

17
Q

what does the driver software do?

10-474

A

it controls how the printer processes the print job

18
Q

tell me the three aspects of paper that indicates to the paper’s quality.

10-485

A

composition - most paper today is a combination of cotton and wood pulp
basis weight - weight in pounds
caliper - thickness, can’t be too thick or too thin

19
Q

true or false: using ink cartridge refill kits is a good idea and recommended

10-486

A

false, all kinds of problems

ink is thinner, doesnt replace the print head, ink may leak out

20
Q

tell me 4 things to watch out for in your printer’s environment

10-489

A

heat
light
ozone
ammonia

21
Q

what kind of memory do most printers use today?

10-490

A

the dual in-line memory module

22
Q

tell me the differences between a NIC in a printer and a NIC in a computer

10-491

A

small processor to perform management of the NIC interface

NIC is proprietary

23
Q

tell me two reasons why firmware is upgraded on a printer

10-492

A

might solve compatibility issues

newer features

24
Q

why would you add a hard drive to a printer?

10-492

A

to store fonts used during the print process AND to store large document file while its being rpocessed for printing

25
Q

what is a finisher?

10-493

A

the printer mechanism that folds, staples, punches holes, sorts the documents

26
Q

windows component not specific to printers

10-473

A

graphics device interface
